AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, INC. 
MANAGERS 


THE ARTHUR TOOTH COLLECTION 
| HE firm of Arthur Tooth & Sons, Ltd., established in 1842 by 
BT it. late Mr. Arthur Tooth, with branches in London and New 
York, has long been known as specialists in the masterpieces of 
the English Eighteenth Century School. On the recent death of Mr. 
Arthur Tooth, the friend and advi ising expert of a generation of New 
‘York buyers, it was decided by the Executors to close the branch at 
‘709 Fifth Avenue, New York, and to liquidate at public auction its 
contents. 

The paintings offered comprise therefore about eighty-five works, 

Snainly of the English School, the attributions of which have been in - 
iy case given by the authority and under the hand of the late Mr. 
Arthur Tooth. A catholic range of artists includes the names of 
Reynolds, Gainsborough, Kneller, Lely, Lawrence, Hoppner, Beechey, 
Cotes, Angelica Kauffmann, West, Gilbert Stuart and others of 
minor note, many from well-known English collections or from the 
descendants of the sitters or their friends; as in the case of the Beechey 
portrait of the first Earl of Carnarvon obtained from the collection 
of the present earl, that of Admiral Keppel described in Graves and 
Cronin’s History of the Works of Sir Joshua Reynolds, P.R.A., and 
from the collection of R. F. Elwin, Esq., and the Hoppner purchased 
from the Right Hon. the Earl of Clarendon. 

An important item is the famous Corot, “‘Saint Sébastien secouru 
par les Saintes Femmes,” illustrated in the comprehensive book of 
Robaut (No. 2316), and which realized at the Vente Gellinard in 1888 
and at the disposal of the Milliken Collection in New York in 1902 
truly impressive figures...The Italian School is represented by a Pan- 
nini bought from Lady Redhouse and four pictures of Venice by 
Marieschi; the Dutch by a Mytens and a Stevaerts, a small Van Goyen 
from the collection of the late Earl Cowley, a J. G. Cuyp and an im- 
portant Josef Israels, “A Friendly Visit,” one of the tragic master- 
pieces of this painter. 

An interesting addition is a small charcoal drawing by Sir Edward 
Burne-Jones, made for the firm of Morris & Son as a design for a 
stained glass window, with directions for the coloring in the artist’s 


own handwriting. 


CONDITIONS OF SALE 


I. Rejection of bids: Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the 
article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by 
the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 

II. The buyer: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises 
between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for 
re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

Ill. Identification and devosit by buyer: The name of the buyer of each lot shall 
be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a 
eard giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address. 

A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the 
purchase prices as may be required. 

If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the, lot or lots so pur- 
chased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 

IV. Risk after purchase: Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, 
and thereafter the property is at the purchasers’ risk, and neither the consignor nor the 
Association is responsible for the loss of, or any damage to any article by theft, fire, 
breakage, however occasioned, or any other cause whatsoever. 

V. Delivery of purchases: Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon 
payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. 

VI. Receipted bills: Goods will only be delivered on presentation of a receipted 
pill. A receipted bill presented by any person will be recognized and honored as an order 
by the buyer, directing the delivery to the bearer of the goods described thereon. If a 
receipted bill is lost before delivery of the property has been taken, the buyer should 
immediately notify the Association of such loss. 

VII. Storage in default of prompt payment and calling for goods: Articles not 
paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following 
that of the sale may be turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to 
and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser. 
and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against 
the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will 
be upon the purchaser. 

In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the 
day following that of the sale, the Association and the auctioneer reserve the right, any 
other stipulation in these conditions of sale notwithstanding, in respect to any or all lots 
included in the purchase bill, at its or his option, either to cancel the sale thereof or to 
re-sell the same at public or private sale without further notice for the account of the 
buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any deficiency and all losses and expenses 
sustained in so doing. 

VIII. Shipping: Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which 
the Association is in no wise engaged, but the Association will, however, afford to pur- 
chasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; 
doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and 
charges of the parties engaged for such service. 

IX. Guaranty: The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- 


“rectly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, 


defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Association 
of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and 
no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloging or imper- 
fection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold ‘as is” and without recourse. 

Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the Asso- 
ciation will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that 
any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot 
as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become 
responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 

X. Records: The records of the Auctioneer and the Association are in all cases to 
be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and 
seller as the value against which all claims for losses or damage shall lie. 

_ XI. Buying on order: Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible 
parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone, if conditions permit, 
will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. Any purchases so made 
will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, except that, in the event of a purchase 
of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his 
agent been present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to _be 
returned within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be refunded 
if the lot differs from its catalogue description. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as 
to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given. 
but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the 
lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of arts, the bid per volume 
or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Asso- 
ale a deposit must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also 

e given. 

Priced Catalogues: Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session thereof, will be 
furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copy- 
ing the necessary information from the records of the Association. 


These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the auctioneer or by an officer 
of the Association.

inclined to half left. A curiously appealing face, with a high noble 
forehead crowned by a white wig, a straight nose, shrewd eyes and a

around the shoulders a black lace scarf and on the head a straw sun- 
bonnet coquettishly adorned with a green ribbon. In the right hand 
is carried an olive-green sunshade, the form of which is lost among the 
dark foliage of a tree massed behind the head and framing at the lower 
left a vista of garden landscape terminated in the far distance by a 
white house. The lady is young, blonde, blue-eyed and, judging by the 


moue on the lips, somewhat flighty; but a fair creature.

A brochure to be sold with the picture and signed by W. McKay and William

Ly traits range in date from that painted by young Reynolds at Minorca in’ 1749 down 
“to 1780, six years before the Admiral’s death. The earliest of these is ‘illustrated 
and described in the first volume of the Walpole Society, 1912; and perhaps the 
most famous of all is Lord Rosebery’s whole length, which launched Reynolds suc- 4 
cessfully into the world as a fashionable portrait painter, and was painted in 1752-3, 
soon after the artist’s return from Rome... ... This portrait (the above) was pre-_ 
sented in 1820 to the Rev. Robert Fountaine Elwin, Rector of> Wilby and Wein 3 
Norfolk, by William Charles, the Earl of Albemarle, the oldest son of the Admiral’s 
eldest brother. The Rev. Mr. Elwin exhibited it at the British Institution in 1847, No.

Ar half-length, in scarlet coat with silver buttons and epaulettes and 
black facings and stock, facing the observer, the head inclined some- 
what to the right. It is a curiously shaped head, reminiscent of that 
of Louis Philippe and crowned by an unkempt mass of iron-gray hair, 
once auburn, on the evidence of the luxuriant side-whiskers ; full cheeks, 
resolute eyes and a delicate, almost feminine mouth, form the composite 
_ personality of the turbulent Peninsular leader.

a lace cap and black osprey. She is robed in a dress of peacock-blue 
and white striped silk bordered with frills of lace, around her neck 
another frill, together with ruched ribbon of the same hue. An aris- 
tocratic face has fine eyebrows arched above blue-gray eyes, straight 
nose and delicate mouth, ears with pearl earrings and a well-founded 
expression of the dignity of aristocracy.

Tue famous beauty is sitting under the protection of a tree of which 
the mass of black-brown foliage covers almost entirely the back of the 
canvas except for a glimpse of blue sky at the left. The face is one of 
the most beautiful that has come down to us on the canvases of the 
painters of the century—a perfect oval, with mild blue eyes and 
straight nose, slightly bow-like mouth and a fair complexion below 
wavy dark brown hair dressed with a veil; a graceful neck is set on 
white shoulders and a youthful bosom in pale splendor before the dark- 
ness of the background. On her lap is a white cat.

and breeches and a white scarf falling down from the knot at the neck — 
and glimpsed between the Brandenburgs of the coat. On the forehead — 
topping a plump ruddy face is a shapeless cap—resembling a night

A note on the back of a photograph to be given with this picture and signed by 
Algernon Graves, Oct. 22, 1919, reads in part as follows: “This is a portrait of | 
Jacob Tonson, a celebrated book seller. ..... The Duke of Somerset was the first —

he presented to Tonson [the secretary of the club] and induced the other members q 
to do the same. The collection remained at Barn Elms until his death when they — 
were inherited by a Mr. Baker in whose family they are at the present time. This — ¥

not only a pupil of George Romney, but for many years assisted his master in 
finishing many of his more important works. He probably~left Romney to settle | 
in Ireland about 1790. His pictures naturally show a very strong influence of 
Romney, and some have been accepted as by the master’s own hand. . . . . It was 
while living in Belfast also that he (the son) published his ‘Juvenile Poems,’ 1806, 
which he afterwards endeavored to suppress. ..... It contains a frontispiece and 
engraving (in reverse and with a few modifications) of the portrait which is the 
subject of this essay, and with the inscription ‘Thomas Romney Robinson, aged 12 
years’ followed by a quotation in Greek..... . In January, 1806, he entered 
Trinity College, Dublin, obtaining a scholarship in 1808, and his B.A. degree in 1810. 
In this year his father died after being for a brief period president of the Society 
ORVATHStse aa hes Romney Robinson’s career at Trinity College was a brilliant 
OnCaaiee _. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1830, 
and of the Royal Society in i856...... Dr. Romney Robinson died suddenly at

observer, a small cart drawn by a gray horse and containing the figure 
of a countryman in a blue smock seated on top of a pile of seaweed 
thriftily collected from the beach; in the distance at the left a coast- 
guard’s hut, at the right by an outlying spit of land a smack and fig- 
ures busied about it in the cold morning. 


Signed at lower right, E. Pirrers, 775.

87—_LADY ASTL 


JL b : Height, 50 


A rau three-quarter length figure in a white satin dress, the slender 
waist confined, the skirt billowing out into a fulness gathered in the 
left hand; the right arm is bent, the right hand holding delicately a 
spray of orange-blossom. The youthful dignity of the twenties is on 
the firmly-set mouth and the slightly overfull chin, while the steadfast 
- eyes under a shrewd forehead connote an intelligence above the ordi- 
nary. The background is of romantic landscape and storm, with inky 
blue clouds at the right and the bole of a tree thrusting itself aloft 
among leafage at the left.
